Ann Arbor, MI 9.14.2011 - Crash Test Target

If you love an image (whether it's yours or someone else's) and want to make sure others get a chance to see it, you can “feature” it by choosing the “Spotlight” button.

When an image is Spotlighted, it receives enhanced visibility in premium spots throughout the site. Spotlighted images are rotated through these higher-visibility positions to ensure the best opportunity for the images to be seen by JPG users.

I got to shoot a series of crash tests at Toyota R&D last week. This shot wasn't used for the article I wrote, but it's my favorite. Cars are test-crashed with dummies inside at speeds of up to 56mph, and test cars can hit the target within fractions of an inch of the projected target range. We got to witness a head-on crash test of a 2012 Camry at 35 mph after I took this shot.
